Re: Masculine but sweet - your best recommendations

This is great. Thank you, BN group! Lots of stuff in here I've never considered. That's what makes basenotes so great - opens us up to lots of new possibilities. Wouldn't have found a tenth of this without the group's advice. THANKS!

Re: Masculine but sweet - your best recommendations

There's some sweetness to both Antaeus and Knize Ten; what I took to be all leather at first sniff for both turns out to be honied florals held in a leather glove, but Antaeus has the sage and thyme to balance the sweetness and Knize Ten has the petroleum accord. The sandalwood in both (coupled with the patchouli in Antaeus) make for woody-sweet (but not sugary or syrupy) drydowns.

But then again I'm a total fanboy!

I offer you perfume,
More for its pleasure than for yours;
You perfume perfume.
